The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1010

Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010: Fourteen Years Searching for a Wife

The two of them, along with two ghosts, quickly found Meliora Torres following the directions given by the old ghost.

After all, having accepted offerings from her every year, the old ghost naturally knew roughly where Meliora lived.

Back then, after Jeffrey Torres died, his soul returned to his hometown, wandering there for years.

He never imagined that the sister he searched for so many years remained close to him all this time.

Near the area where he had his car accident was an old residential area where Meliora lived.

She stayed in the Capital Metropolitan after she gave up on suicide.

Initially, she worked odd jobs, and after saving some money, she set up a street food stall. After more than ten years, she successfully opened her own eatery.

Life was relatively peaceful.

Except, in recent times, for the constant harassment by her ex-husband’s family.

Back then, she disappeared for two years, and her in-laws couldn’t find her. Unwilling to let their son remain single, they declared her a missing person to file for divorce unilaterally.

Unexpectedly, a year ago, her ex-husband injured his leg back home, unable to work, his new wife left him, leaving no one to care for him. He suddenly remembered the runaway ex-wife.

Taking advantage of the trend, he started a livestream account, titled 「Searching for My Wife for Fourteen Years」.

He hid the remarriage and divorce, creating an online persona of a devoted husband, broadcasting stories of him and his wife, claiming he’d spent fourteen years searching for her and that he broke his leg while looking for her.

While earning donations from sympathetic netizens, he also asked them to help find his wife.

With advanced internet and countless self-proclaimed righteous netizens, they did indeed find Meliora.

Owning a business, Meliora was eventually identified by a well-meaning passerby who informed the man.

Upon hearing she now ran a food shop, the man and his family were elated and headed to the Capital Metropolitan to cling onto Meliora.

When Scarlett Jennings, the two of them, and two ghosts arrived, a commotion had just started at the eatery.

A middle-aged man’s raspy voice could be heard at the entrance,

"I’m telling you, sister-in-law, you can’t be so heartless. Now that you’ve made a life for yourself, you snub my brother, who’s suffered so much searching for you all these years! How can you be so cruel?"

Then another voice, weary and bitter, spoke,

"Meliora, I know I’m not in great shape now, and it makes sense you’d turn away, but I really want to go back to how we were. We’ve lost fourteen years; must we continue to waste time?"

Whispers erupted in the crowd, followed by an angry female voice,

"Don’t call me that! I am not your sister-in-law! I divorced your brother a decade ago. Just because you don’t say anything doesn’t mean I don’t know."

The woman sneered coldly at the man in the wheelchair,

"And you! Don’t think you can fool everyone by playing the victim online! No one knows your family better than I do! If you want to make my life difficult, then don’t expect any peace for yourselves either!"

After years of hardships, the girl who once could easily be fooled had developed a sharp edge.

Not much, but enough to shield herself.

Seeing that Meliora wasn’t bending under pressure, even learning about his past actions back home, David Atkins and his brother exchanged looks and decided to dig in their heels, with David’s brother cursing aggressively.

First accusing her of ingratitude, then of having another man.

Their mother, a woman in her seventies, sat at the shop’s entrance, crying and wailing about her daughter-in-law’s heartlessness, causing further whispers among onlookers.

Meliora’s chest heaved with anger, but deep inside, she felt a profound helplessness.

She thought her life had reset after her attempted suicide failed but didn’t anticipate it. After a couple of years of peace, they would hassle her again.
